A Soul Will Be Saved

And then the day came That I found my self lost in the void of my own emptiness And as suddenly as a tree bust into flames After being stuck by lightening My heart sank I felt so lost and alone The walls ran red with my blood For they were all I had left to beat And my busted knuckles bleed with the vengeance of hate I cursed the Lord above as the gooners burst into my cell AND WE FOUGHT Overcome and beaten Hogtied and broken I refused any medical aid For my hate drank the pain And I wept ALONE As deep as the peace of a deer lying in the meadow I felt the Lord Jesus Christ come unto my soul And to this day the thought of him The depth of his mercy Makes me cry For I have been forgiven I became a man of living example The future holds limitless opportunities for me I bare witness to the darkness of addiction For I have been delivered from the ashes Set free from the chains that bound me My soul is my Lords as my heart is my wife’s My life belongs to anyone who is willing to learn As I ready to embark on the journey of education My excitement grows with each passing day Because I know the Lord Jesus Christ Will use me as a lantern of faith And those who teach me will also learn from me For my knowledge of emptiness is as vast and barren As all of the great deserts spread around the world Compiled together in one 6’-2’’ 240 lb. frame The depths of my scars are like the Grand Canyon Amazing to see and impossible to comprehend This is my story this is who I am My past will never be forgotten Because it holds the possibility of higher education In regards to the overhaul journey of life And hopefully some where along the way A soul will be saved
